What's This Course About

Semiconductor Device and Process Integration Masterclass gives you an in-depth understanding of semiconductor device physics and how individual fabrication processes are integrated to produce working, reliable devices. As devices continue to shrink and become more complex, engineers need to understand how each process step affects device performance and yield. This masterclass is designed for process, device, integration, yield and equipment engineers, technicians and technical professionals working in or entering the semiconductor industry.

You will start with the fundamentals of device physics and device fabrication, covering semiconductor materials, energy bands, doping, carriers, p-n junctions and the operation of MOSFETs and other key devices. You will then review the major fabrication steps, including oxidation, lithography, etching, deposition, ion implantation, diffusion, chemical mechanical planarisation and metallisation, and how they combine to build front-end and back-end structures.

The second topic focuses on process integration issues, examining how process interactions affect threshold voltage, leakage, reliability and yield, and exploring challenges such as short-channel effects, isolation, contact and interconnect resistance, and defect control. You will analyse real integration problems and discuss approaches to solving them. By the end of the masterclass, you will understand the link between device physics and fabrication, and be better able to diagnose integration issues and contribute to improving device performance and yield.

John Yik is a semiconductor technical consultant and trainer with more than 30 years of experience in the semiconductor foundry environment. He spent over two decades at GlobalFoundries in Singapore, progressing from Group Leader and Section Manager to Senior Principal Engineer in advanced module technology development and then Member of Technical Staff in process development, where he worked on process build, equipment management, inspection, tool commissioning and technology roadmap development. He is named on a patent for a contact mask for semiconductor manufacturing. He holds a Master of Engineering in Microelectronics from Rochester Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics, and is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Product Owner, as well as an ACTA-certified adult trainer. Since 2018 he has worked as a freelance technical consultant, bringing real fab experience into every class.

On Semiconductor Device and Process Integration Masterclass, John walks learners through how chips are actually made, from wafer preparation, oxidation, lithography, etch, deposition, doping and CMP to device structures, process integration, metrology and yield. He illustrates each step with examples from his years in foundry process development, explaining why process windows, defect control and equipment discipline decide whether a technology node succeeds.

Dr. Alfred Ang brings an engineering and research perspective to semiconductor technology: his doctoral research at the National University of Singapore was in microelectronics and quantum effects in semiconductor devices, built on a first degree in Physics. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the National University of Singapore, an MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU and a BSc (Hons) in Physics from NUS, and spent more than 20 years in the defence, electronics and semiconductor industries, where he co-invented more than 20 US patents and published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers. Today he is the Chief Technology Officer of Tertiary Infotech Academy and founded Tertiary Infotech Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia in 2016. As CTO he leads the planning, delivery and continuous release of the course-registration and learning management platform behind the Tertiary Courses websites in Singapore, Malaysia and Ghana, coordinating developers, trainers and operations staff across three countries. His semiconductor and electronics background helps learners connect device physics and process steps to the products and systems they end up in.

On Semiconductor Device and Process Integration Masterclass, Dr. Ang complements the process view with device physics and electronics fundamentals, drawing on his PhD in Electrical Engineering and two decades in the electronics and semiconductor industries.

A well-worth lesson Review by Course Participant/Trainee
1. Do you find the course meet your expectation?
2. Do you find the trainer knowledgeable in this subject?
3. How do you find the training environment
Mr Suchit is a very knowledgeable and analytical trainer. He was able to tailor the lesson to suit my needs of viewing an engineering problem from the perspective of physics; the physical properties of electronic components from ground up.

This allows for a macro perspective of solving a problem, and provides a deep understanding of how engineering devices work together in tandem, as a result of physical properties, to solve a certain requirement.

It is also about defining the problem, and to seek for the best solution by making use of the best features of a certain physical component, and get down to prove the hypothesis.

This is an especially important concept that I feel, all engineers should internalize as one of their problem solving skill set. (Posted on 12/5/2019)
